Corneal Inlays

Presbyopia is a common age-related vision condition that affects a person’s ability to focus on near objects or read small print. It is often referred to as “aging eyes” or “age-related farsightedness.” Presbyopia typically becomes noticeable in the late 30s or early 40s and continues to progress with age.

People with early presbyopia often notice they need more light to read, and have to hold reading material at arm’s length to focus. Eventually, presbyopia results in the need for reading glasses or bifocals/progressive lenses for all near vision.

Presbyopia is an age-related condition that results in the loss of flexibility in the eye’s lens. This decreased flexibility makes it difficult to read close-up objects like books and newspapers.

For most patients, the full benefit of inlay is realized within one month post-procedure and others may take longer. Most patients return to normal activities as early as the day after their inlay procedure.

The majority of patients who are treated for presbyopia find that their distance vision remains unaffected.

Corneal inlays will typically last until cataracts develop, providing good reading vision. With or without a corneal inlay procedure, your eye’s lens will steadily become less flexible, and then more clouded.

Raindrop® patients tend to be mildly hyperopic, while KAMRA™ patients tend to be mildly myopic.
